I have a client with a https web server who needs a new file uploaded every day. I don't want to keep doing this manually so I'd like to write a simple dos batch script I can schedule to do this for me. Sounds simple enough, except, I can not figure out how to access "My Network Places" in DOS.
Windows XP machine.
Thanks!

Just in case anyone read this and said WHOA!! I found the solution - a little freeware app called what else - upload.exe
can get it at http://pcwin.com/Internet/FTP/File_Uploader/index.htm (http://pcwin.com/Internet/FTP/File_Uploader/index.htm)
Some other suggestions from various sources were cURL and wGET

i dident understand the question.. i was trying to remember how to shift up a level in batch so you could get into network places its been a while since i used xp.. wicked avatar though , thrashtilldeath

it's easy enough with standard mounted network drives --
net use //server/share but this was an https: shared drive only accessible through a web browser or if you wanted to write a file, windows explorer. That's where upload.exe came in handy - apparently it emulates a web browser and the basic functionalities like authentication directory changing and what not with requiring use of the mouse/GUI interface. I am quite pleased as will my boss be.
